21 Procedure Troubleshooting the Lift System Lift System Description: The lift system on these units consists of an AC line voltage driven lift motor (120 Vac), and an internal 1 KΩ potentiometer for lift position identification. The lift motor contains two motor windings, one to operate the motor in an upward direction and the other to operate the motor in a downward direction. As the lift motor is operated, the motor also rotates the potentiometer via an internal gear system. Therefore, the position of the lift system can be determined by monitoring the value of the internal potentiometer. The lift motor is initially set at a known starting position (calibration, See Procedure 4.1), subsequent motor movement is tracked via the potentiometer resistance reading. Note: All resistance measurements must be performed with power removed from the treadmill. Performing resistance measurements with voltage applied may damage your ohmmeter. Procedure 1. If the lift motor operates but creates a lift error (error 40 or 42) go to step 16. If the lift motor will not move continue with step Set the treadmill s circuit breaker in the off position and remove the AC line cord from the AC outlet. 3. Remove the F2 (Lift AC) fuse from the lower PCA. Using an ohmmeter, check the resistance of the F2 fuse. See Diagram 5.2. The fuse should measure approximately 0.1 Ω or less. If the fuse is open or high resistance, replace the fuse. Diagram Lower PCA J1 Connector Fuse F2 J3 Connector J7 Connector Page 21

22 4. Insert the treadmill s line in the AC outlet and set the circuit breaker in the on position. Set the treadmill in the manual program and press the LIFT key. If the lift motor operates normally, test treadmill operation per Section 3. If the lift motor still does not operate, retest the lift fuse per steps 2 & 3. If the fuse is open again, continue with step 13. If the fuse is good continue with step Connect an AC voltmeter between terminals 1 & 4 of the J1 connector. See Diagram 5.2. Set the treadmill in the manual program and press the LIFT key. The AC voltmeter should read AC line voltage (120 Vac) and the red UP LED should illuminate. Note that the AC line voltage reading will only be present before an error condition is displayed. 6. If the F2 fuse is good and the UP LED illuminates and the AC voltmeter does not read the presence of AC line voltage replace the lower logic PCA per Procedure If the UP LED does not illuminate and the display indicates that the lift should be moving upward, replace the upper PCA per Procedure If the AC voltmeter reads the presence of AC line voltage and an error 40 is displayed, go to step If the AC voltmeter reads the presence of AC line voltage and an error 42 is displayed, continue with step Set the treadmill s circuit breaker in the off position and remove the AC line cord from the AC outlet. Remove the lift motor connector from the J1 connector on the lower PCA. Visually. inspect the lift motor connector for broken or improperly crimped connections. Using an ohmmeter, read the resistance between terminals 1 & 4 and between terminals 3 & 4. Both readings should be approximately 12 Ω. If either reading is open or very high resistance, replace the lift motor per Procedure Set the treadmill s circuit breaker in the off position and remove the AC line cord from the AC outlet. Remove the lift motor connector from the J7 connector on the lower PCA. Visually inspect the lift motor connector for broken or improperly crimped connections. Using an ohmmeter, measure between terminals 1 & 3, 1 & 2 and 2 & 3 of the lift motor connector. Terminals 1 and 3 should read approximately 1 KΩ. The sum of the two readings between terminals 2 & 3 and 1 & 2 should total approximately 1 KΩ. If either reading is open or very high resistance, replace the lift motor per Procedure If you have performed all of the procedures above and have been unable to correct the problem, call Precor customer service. 13. Set the treadmill s circuit breaker in the off position and remove the AC line cord from the AC outlet. Remove the lift motor connector from the J1 connector on the lower PCA. Visually inspect the lift motor connector for broken, frayed or improperly crimped connections. Using an ohmmeter, read the resistance between terminals 1 & 4, 3 & 4 and 1 & 3. The readings should be approximately 12 Ω, 12 Ω and 24 Ω, respectively. If the reading is significantly low, replace the lift motor per Procedure 6.1. Page 22

If the resistance readings in step 13 are normal, replace the lower logic PCA per Procedure If you have performed all of the procedures above and have been unable to correct the problem, call Precor customer service. 16. Set the treadmill s circuit breaker in the off position and remove the AC line cord from the AC outlet. Remove the lift motor connector from the J7 connector on the lower logic PCA. Visually inspect the lift motor connector for broken or improperly crimped connections. Using an ohmmeter, measure between terminals 1 & 3, 1 & 2 and 2 & 3 of the lift motor connector. Terminals 1 and 3 should read approximately 1 KΩ. The sum of the two readings between terminals 2 & 3 and 1 & 2 should total approximately 1 KΩ. If either reading is open or very high resistance, replace the lift motor per Procedure If the resistance measurements in step 16 are normal, the problem may be either the lower logic PCA or the upper PCA. Replace the lower logic PCA. If the problem persists, reinstall the original lower logic PCA and replace the upper PCA. 18. If you have performed all of the procedures above and have been unable to correct the problem, call Precor customer service. Page 23

24 Procedure Troubleshooting the Speed Sensor Note: The speed sensor is a hall effect sensor that emits a pulse when a flywheel lobe passes between it s transmitter and receiver. The speed control circuit processes the pulse train emitted by the speed sensor. The speed sensor signal is a real time representation of the operating speed of the treadmill. The speed control circuit compares the real time speed (speed sensor output) with the speed that it expects the treadmill to be operating at and acts accordingly to control treadmill speed or initiate an error code sequence, if necessary. Typically, if a problem exists with the speed sensor the drive motor will operate (perhaps only briefly) before a speed related error occurs (errors 20-26). 1. Set the treadmill circuit breaker in the on position. Using a DC voltmeter, measure the voltage between terminal 3 of J3 (green wire) and terminal 4 of J3 (black wire) on the lower PCA. Slowly, rotate the drive motor flywheel. The voltage should read approximately 0.25 Vdc when a flywheel lobe is between the speed sensor legs and approximately 5 Vdc when a flywheel lobe is not between the speed sensor legs. Diagram Speed Sensor Mounting Speed Sensor Flywheel Lobe Drive Motor 2. If the voltages in step 1 are correct, go to step 5. If the voltage in step 1 is 0 Vdc or significantly low when a flywheel lobe is between the speed sensor legs, continue with step 3. Page 24

25 3. Measure the voltage between terminal 1 of J3. (red wire) and terminal 4 of J3 (black wire) on the lower PCA, see Diagram 5.2. The voltage should read approximately 5 Vdc. If the voltage is missing or significantly low, disconnect the speed sensor plug from the lower PCA. Measure the voltage between pins 1 & 4 of the J3 connector on the lower PCA. If the voltage is approximately 5 Vdc, replace the speed sensor. If the voltage is missing or significantly low, replace the lower logic PCA. 4. If at this point the speed sensor output is good, but a speed error occurs, replace the upper PCA. 5. If you have performed all of the above procedures and have been unable to correct the problem, call Precor Customer Support. Page 25

26 Procedure Troubleshooting the External A.C. Power Source It is extremely important that any Precor treadmill be connected to and operated on a dedicated 20 amp A.C. circuit. A 20 amp dedicated circuit is defined as: a circuit fed by a 20 amp circuit breaker that feeds a single load. A treadmill operating from a non-dedicated circuit or a circuit breaker of less than 20 amps capacity will not have the necessary power available to operate normally under higher load conditions. The lack of available power can cause any number of symptoms ranging from numerous intermittent (seemingly inexplicable) error conditions, poor speed control, or tripping the house circuit breaker. If any of the above symptoms exist the external A.C. circuit must be checked and confirmed to be a 20 amp dedicated circuit before troubleshooting the treadmill. In addition the A.C. voltage must be checked. Nominal A.C. operating voltage on 120 Vac circuits is 105 Vac to 120 Vac. Nominal A.C. operating voltage on 240 Vac circuits is 208 Vac to 240 Vac. For operator safety considerations and to minimize electrostatic discharge conditions the A.C. frame ground continuity must also be verified to be a low resistance connection to the A.C. distribution ground bar. Important If the A.C. circuit feeding a treadmill is found to be a non-dedicated circuit or a circuit equipped with a circuit breaker with a capacity of less than 20 amps, the A.C. circuit must be corrected to be a 20 amp dedicated circuit before any reliable troubleshooting can be performed on the treadmill. More importantly, a non-dedicated circuit may constitute a safety hazard to the treadmill operator. 120 Vac Systems 120 Vac distribution systems utilize a single pole circuit breaker (hot lead) and a neutral lead connected to a common neutral (ground) bar. The A.C. safety ground (green wire) is connected to a separate ground bar in the distribution system. The most common problems found are (1) the circuit is fed by a circuit breaker of less than 20 amp capacity, (2) the circuit breaker correctly feeds a single A.C. outlet but the neutral is common between several A.C. outlets and (3) both the hot and neutral leads feed several A.C. outlets. The appropriate correction action or actions (see below) must be followed if any of the above conditions exist. Corrective actions should only be undertaken by a licensed electrician. 1. The circuit breaker feeding the treadmill is not a 20 amp circuit breaker. If the circuit breaker is greater than 20 amps, the circuit breaker should be replaced with a 20 amp circuit breaker. If the circuit breaker is less than 20 amps the circuit breaker must be replaced with a 20 amp circuit breaker and the wiring from the A.C. distribution must be capable of safely handing 20 amps. If the A.C. wiring is under sized, it must be replaced with wire capable of safely handling 20 amps. Please, refer to local electrical codes when determining the appropriate wire size for a 20 amp circuit. Page 26

27 2. The circuit breaker correctly feeds a single A.C. outlet but the neutral is common between several A.C. outlets. The common neutral lead must be removed from treadmill s A.C. outlet and a new neutral lead from the treadmill s A.C. outlet to the A.C. neutral distribution bar must be added. 3. Both the hot and neutral leads feed several A.C. outlets. Both the common neutral and hot leads must be removed from treadmill s A.C. outlet and a new neutral lead and hot lead from the treadmill s A.C. outlet to the A.C. neutral distribution bar and circuit breaker must be added. 240 Vac Systems 240 Vac distribution systems utilize a double pole circuit breaker (two hot leads) The A.C. safety ground (green wire) is connected to a ground bar in the distribution system. The most common problems found are (1) the circuit is fed by a circuit breaker of less than 20 amp capacity and (2) both the hot leads feed several A.C. outlets. The appropriate correction action or actions (see below) must be followed if any of the above conditions exist. Corrective actions should only be undertaken by a licensed electrician. 1. The circuit breaker feeding the treadmill is not a 20 amp circuit breaker. If the circuit breaker is greater than 20 amps, the circuit breaker should be replaced with a 20 amp circuit breaker. If the circuit breaker is less than 20 amps the circuit breaker must be replaced with a 20 amp circuit breaker and the wiring from the A.C. distribution must be capable of safely handing 20 amps. If the A.C. wiring is under sized, it must be replaced with wire capable of safely handling 20 amps. Please, refer to local electrical codes when determining the appropriate wire size for a 20 amp circuit. 2. Both the hot leads feed several A.C. outlets. Both hot leads must be removed from treadmill s A.C. outlet and two new hot leads from the treadmill s A.C. outlet to the circuit breaker must be added. A licensed electrician may use the followings hints to determine if an A.C. service is dedicated. 1. If, on a 120 Vac system, the A.C. distribution panel contains more circuit breakers than neutral leads, the system has shared neutral leads and is not dedicated. 2. If an A.C. outlet (120 or 240 Vac) has multiple hot and/or neutral leads, it is not a dedicated. 3. If either of the above conditions exist, the system is not dedicated. However, absence of the above conditions does not necessarily mean that the system is dedicated. If any doubt exists about A.C. systems dedication, point to point tracing of the A.C. wiring may be the only way to prove system dedication. Page 27

28 Procedure Troubleshooting Heart Rate Circuit Description The hand held heart rate system is actually a dual system, that is, it can accept a heart rate signal from either the hand held heart rate contacts on the unit s handlebar or from a Polar heart rate chest strap transmitter. The PCA is configured for hand held priority. That is, if both a chest strap and hand heart rate signal are being received, the system will accept the hand held signal and ignore the chest strap signal. If a hand held signal is not being received, the system will accept the chest strap signal. Note: There are four typical failure modes for the hand held/chest strap heart rate system. They are: hand held is normal - no chest strap reading; no hand held reading - chest strap normal; no hand held or chest strap reading or constant or intermittent readings when neither hand held or chest strap are in use. Diagram Hand held/chest strap heart rate PCA J3 HR Output or higher Heart Rate PCA 5 Vdc Gnd J1 Lower Right Upper Right Upper Left Lower Left Normal hand held reading - No chest strap reading 1. Access the diagnostic program (Procedure 3.2). Advance to the heart rate display portion of the diagnostic program. Verify that a chest strap signal is not being accepted with either a Polar heart rate test transmitter or a known good chest strap transmitter. If this reading is good, skip to step Using a known good Polar heart rate chest strap, verify that the heart rate operates with the known good chest strap. If the known good Polar chest strap does corrects the problem, replace the original chest strap transmitter. 3. If the above procedures did not correct the problem, replace the heart rate PCA. Page 28

29 No hand held reading - Normal chest strap reading 4. Access the diagnostic program (Procedure 3.2). Advance to the heart rate display portion of the diagnostic program. Verify that a hand held signal is not being accepted by firmly grasping both the right and left hand held contacts on the handlebars. Cover as much of the contact surface area with your hands as possible (without moving your hands), you should receive a heart rate reading within ten seconds. 5. If the hand held signal is now being accepted, something in the near vicinity is radiating RF (radio frequency) energy that is being received by the chest strap portion of the heart rate PCA. 6. If a hand held signal still not being accepted, skip to step Replace the heart rate PCA with a (or higher) heart rate PCA and higher versions of heart rate PCA are less susceptible to radiated RF energy. 8. Access the diagnostic program (Procedure 3.2). Advance to the heart rate display portion of the diagnostic program. Verify that a hand held signal is not being accepted by firmly grasping both the right and left hand held contacts with the opposite hands, right hand on the left handlebar contacts and left hand on the right handlebar contacts. Cover as much of the contact surface area with your hands as possible, you should receive a heart rate reading within ten seconds. If a hand held signal is still not being accepted, skip to step If a hand held signal was accepted in step 11, the hand held contact wiring is reversed. The end of the wire harness that connects to the hand held contacts in the handlebar is segregated into two groups. One group has blue shrink wrap around it and the other group has black shrink wrap around it. The blue group must go to the right hand contacts and the black group must go to the left hand contacts. In both groups the black wire must go to the lower contact and the red wire must go to the upper contact. If necessary, rewire the hand held contacts as described above and test as described in step If the wiring is correct, refer to Diagram 6.3 for the following measurements. With an ohmmeter measure between the lower right contact pin on the J1 connector and the lower right hand held heart rate contact on the handlebar. The reading should be 1 Ω or less. Measure between the upper right contact pin on the J1 connector and the upper right hand held heart rate contact on the handlebar. The reading should be 1 Ω or less. Measure between the upper left contact pin on the J1 connector and the upper left hand held heart rate contact on the handlebar. The reading should be 1 Ω or less. Measure between the lower left contact pin on the J1 connector and the lower left hand held heart rate contact on the handlebar. The reading should be 1 Ω or less. If any of the above readings are greater than 1 Ω, replace the heart rate PCA to handlebar wire harness. Page 29

30 No hand held reading - No chest strap reading 11. Access the diagnostic program (Procedure 3.2). Advance to the heart rate display portion of the diagnostic program. Verify that neither a chest strap signal or a hand held signal is being accepted with either a heart rate test transmitter or a chest strap transmitter. 12. Check the plug/connector connections on both the heart rate PCA (J4), and upper PCA (J1). 13. If neither a chest strap signal or a hand held signal is being accepted, measure between the ground and 5 Vdc pins on J4 for 5 Vdc. If 5 Vdc is present, replace the heart rate PCA. 14. If 5 Vdc is not present, remove the connector from J4 of the heart rate PCA. Measure between the ground and 5 Vdc pins of the connector (just removed from the heart rate PCA) for 5 Vdc. If 5 Vdc is present, replace the heart rate PCA. If the 5 Vdc is not present, measure between the corresponding pins of J1 on the upper PCA (red and black wires). If 5 Vdc is not present replace the upper PCA. If 5 Vdc is present, replace the upper PCA to heart rate PCA cable. Constant or intermittent readings when neither the hand held or chest strap is in use 15. Verify that a ferrite core is clamped around the heart rate PCA to upper PCA cable. 16. Constant or intermittent heart rate readings when neither heart rate system is in use is caused by something in the near vicinity radiating RF energy that is being received by the chest strap portion of the heart rate PCA. 17. Replace the heart rate PCA with a (or higher) heart rate PCA and higher versions of heart rate PCA are less susceptible to radiated RF energy Page 30

31 Procedure Running Belt & Deck Troubleshooting This procedure is to be used to determine the condition of the running belt and running deck combination. A clamp-on ammeter will be used to measure the treadmill s A.C. input current under load. The A.C input current is a direct indication of the load being placed on the treadmill. Treadmill loading consists of several factors, the user s weight, treadmill speed, treadmill incline setting and the condition of the running belt and running deck condition. By making all of the other factors consistent we will be able to determine the relative condition of the running belt and deck combination. The A.C input current measurements will be performed at 3 m.p.h. (4.8 k.p.h.) and 0% incline. Because the loading varies with the user s weight, you should perform the A.C input current measurement test on a new running belt and deck combination. That will provide you with a benchmark reading to account for your individual weight. Because the A.C. input current reading will pulse between a high value (during foot plant) and a low reading (between foot plants) we suggest the use of an analog clamp-on ammeter. An analog ammeter makes it very easy to see the A.C. current pulses. The refresh rate on digital ammeters may make it difficult to see the current peaks. 1. Remove the treadmill s motor cover and place the A.C clamp-on ammeter on the brown wire from the A.C. input module (or A.C. power cord) to the circuit breaker (on/off switch). See the illustration below. Circuit Breaker A.C. Input Module Clamp-on Ammeter 2. Set the treadmill s speed at 3 m.p.h. (4.8 k.p.h.) and the incline at 0%. Walk on the treadmill and observe the peak A.C. current reading. Typical peak A.C. current readings on a new running belt and deck are between 3 and 6 amperes. 3. If the peak current reading approach 20 amperes, the running belt should be replaced. The running deck should be flipped or replaced if the running deck has been previously flipped. See Procedure X for running belt and running deck replacement. Page 31

32 4. If the peak A.C. current readings are greater than on a new running belt and deck combination but not approaching 20 amperes, the reading will give you an indication of the running belt and deck combination s general condition. Page 32

50 Procedure Drive Roller Replacement This procedure is to be used to replace a drive roller while maintaining the drive belt s original tensioning and the running belt s original tension and tracking settings. Two running belt gauges, Precor part number , are required. It is important that this procedure be followed to maintain correct drive belt and running belt tension. When tension is removed from the running belt, the belt requires 24 hours for it to relax. If tension is removed from the belt and then re-tensioned without following this procedure or allowing a 24 hour relaxation period, the running belt may be over tensioned. Over tensioning the belt will lead to premature running belt wear, premature driver roller bearing failure and premature take up roller bearing failure. 1. Place two running belt gauges on each side of the running belt, being sure that the gauges are not across a belt seam. Set the gauges to the 3% mark as shown in the Illustration below. 2. Once set the belt gauges can not be disturbed or moved, doing so will invalidate the tension settings and necessitate a 24 hour relaxation period before the running belt can be re-tensioned. 3. Remove the end caps from the rear of treadmill to expose the take up roller mounting bolts. Remove the treadmill s motor cover. 4. Loosen, but do not remove the take up roller mounting bolts. The bolts are being loosened to remove tension from the running belt. Take Up Roller Mounting Bolt Page 50

Drive Belt Mark Bolt Here Drive Roller Pulley 6. Using a fine tip marker or scribe, place a mark on the right hand drive roller mounting bolt directly in front of the drive roller shaft. The bolt is being marked so that the drive roller can be returned to the exact same position. The use of a fine marking line allows for more accuracy when the replacement drive roller is installed. 7. Remove both drive roller mounting bolts. Remove the drive roller from the treadmill. 8. Slide the replacement drive roller into running belt and into the drive belt. Hand start both drive roller mounting bolts. 9. Tighten the left hand drive roller bolt fully. The left hand side of the drive roller should be as far forward as possible. 10. Tighten the right hand drive roller bolt until the mark placed on it in step 6 aligns with the front edge of the drive roller shaft. Steps 8 and 9 should place the drive roller into its original position and should now be square to the treadmill frame. 11. Slowly rotate the drive motor flywheel while pressing the drive belt onto of the drive roller pulley. Continue until the drive belt walks completely onto the drive roller pulley. Be sure that the drive belt is fully onto and correctly aligned on the drive roller pulley. 12. Alternate tightening the two take up roller mounting bolts, in order to tighten both ends evenly, until both running belt gauges again read exactly 3%. 13. When both gauges again read 3% the belt is at its original tension. It will now be necessary to touch up the running belt tracking, however if this procedure was carefully followed, the belt tracking should be very close. 14. Remove both belt gauges from the running belt. 15. Start the treadmill and operate it at 2 m.p.h. Observe the running belt. If the belt drifts away from its centered position re-track it by adjusting the take up roller mounting bolts as described in step 16. Page 51

53 Procedure Take Up Roller Replacement This procedure is to be used to replace a take up roller while maintaining the running belt s original tension and tracking settings. Two running belt gauges, Precor part number , are required. It is important that this procedure be followed to maintain correct running belt tension. When tension is removed from the running belt, the belt requires 24 hours for it to relax. If tension is removed from the belt and then re-tensioned without following this procedure or allowing a 24 hour relaxation period, the running belt may be over tensioned. Over tensioning the belt will lead to premature running belt wear, premature driver roller bearing failure and premature take up roller bearing failure. 1. Place two running belt gauges on each side of the running belt, being sure that the gauges are not across a belt seam. Set the gauges to the 3% mark as shown in the Illustration below. 2. Once set the belt gauges can not be disturbed or moved, doing so will invalidate the tension settings and necessitate a 24 hour relaxation period before the running belt can be re-tensioned. 3. Remove the end caps from the rear of treadmill to expose the take up roller mounting bolts. 4. If applicable, remove the finger guard located in front of take up roller. 5.
